Pittsburgh Steelers assistant coach Joey Porter was reinstated from his suspension after several charges were dropped following an altercation outside a Miami bar last weekend. He will be back with the team in time to coach in the upcoming Divisional Round playoff game Sunday, Jan. 15, against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Pittsburgh Steelers assistant coach Joey Porter is expected to be fined by the National Football League for going onto the field and engaging with Cincinnati Bengals players during the AFC wild-card game Saturday, Jan. 9, according to a source.

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive assistant coach Joey Porter could be a head coach one day, according to former teammate Larry Foote. "I think he's going to be a head coach in this league one day," Foote said. "I think he has that 'it' factor to be a head coach if he stays the course. He has an enthusiasm and excitement that you can't teach, you can't develop, you've just got to be born with it and I'm excited. Hopefully he grows from the coaching side, X's and O's, organization and stuff like that. But shoot, he's on the fast track because he can lead men, he can get men to run through a wall."
